Course/Module description:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a treatment method developed by Marsha Linhan in the early 90's to treat borderline personality disorder and the suicidal and/or self harming patients. The method is now used in the treatment of other complex cases, especially those suffering from emotional regulation problems, including addictions, eating disorders and more. It is an integrative therapeutic approach based on a number of elements, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical philosophy, the bio-social theory and practices of mindfulness derived from Buddhism. The method also incorporates therapeutic elements from self psychology and the intersubjective approach. During the course we will learn the theoretical concepts in the basis of the method and learn to apply the therapeutic principles in the practical work. The course is with an emphasis on applicability and encourages sharing examples from the therapeutic practice.
